1. I don't see water flow as the issue. All the water tubes, even the
one leaving the pump, are fairly warm, and feel, to my uncalibrated
fingers, to be pretty much the same temp. I could be wrong...
It's a dilemma: the faster your flow, the more heat you remove
from the CPU block. But the slower your flow, the more heat
you transfer to the radiator.
2. My CPUs are plumbed in parallel. Instead of your sequence,
I have:
pump -> tee -> cpu 0 -> tee -> radiator -> reservoir -> pump
| ^
`-> cpu 1 -'
That way, the CPUs both get equally cool water.
3. My pump is now on neoprene bushings similar to the ones that hold
the fan onto the Sonata case. That cut down the vibration a lot.
I have to replace the bushings with bolts when it rides in the
car.

Very cool....
I have to wait until I get home before ripping apart any hardware. :-(
